The future of Paul Markham. Discuss.

[The Porn Nerd]

I'll throw my two cents in:

Produce a better Paul Markham and the Industry will rebound, one where it doesn't take 1:1000 to convert a surfer into a GFY Paul Markham post reader.

Anyone can drive traffic to a Paul Markham GFY post but will it last? Can we count on a future where Paul Markham posts are gauranteed? Only if we produce better, less-saturated Paul Markhams with unique perspectives not connected to tube sites but rather magazines and high-quality production values in his Avatars.

Discuss.

the future of the adult industry: adult diapers?

[lazycash]

Great discussion, we need a Paul Markham that doesn't get stuck in repeat mode reciting the obvious. We need one that thinks outside the box and is readily available to adapt to an ever changing online adult landscape.

It's called irony. :D
(I didn't bump his thread, Playa)

Here's an example to help you translate, from The Master himself:

It has to have something about that puts it apart from the other sites (PAUL MARKHAMS). Otherwise it's just another scene (PAUL MARKHAM) of another girl (PAUL MARKHAM) getting it on, or boy (PAUL MARKHAM) if it's gay(PAUL MARKHAM) .

Now you can all tell me I'm clueless.

Paul should knit blankets and sell them on Ebay. Forget the puzzle shit.

Be it me or anyone. We need someone who can think outside the box and produce something that turns the tide.

Can you name anyone in online porn who thinks outside the box?

Most people just think inside the box or copy what others are doing.

1. His wife will grow tired of taking care of and supporting him and will leave him.

2. His cancer will recur and he will die.

There's many thinking outside the box, nobody is going to spoon feed you new and innovative ideas just so you can tag along. Sure the easy route is to wait for that next great product/site that is refreshingly new and converts great, however this isn't 2005 where a new sponsor program opened up every 2 weeks, it might never come along. So instead of waiting, use the sponsors we have to work with as affiliates and work on creative ways to generate and filter traffic and improve conversions all while minimizing expenses.

He has made millions and has retired. He just posts here to fill the time in his pathetic day until his wife gets home from cleaning the bogs at a lorry company to squirt food in his tube.

I'm getting the point now where I don't believe he means anything he says.

Just does it to wind people up.

No one can have made 2 million and be this stupid.

[wehateporn]

Once upon a time the light bulb companies all got together and made a rule that anyone who created a light bulb which lasted over 'X' amount of months would receive a fine; hence why we have to buy new light bulbs all the time.

If adult webmasters went along the same route and fined anyone who shows nudity or more outside of paysites then it would be a winner, but it would require a lot of organisation and a bit of corruption to make it happen. The corruption bit is pretending we're bringing in the laws to protect children from seeing what they shouldn't and that sign-ups are for age verification

Ah, I figured with his incessant whining rants about all the free porn and poor conversions that he was broke and his wife was supporting his retirement. Didn't realize he was a millionaire, that must be one nice cottage he lives in.

Brilliant! That will totally solve the whole problem. You should work with Markham on his ebook which I think is titled "But what if we could do things we can't do, wouldn't life be better then?"

Also, I think it's very wrong to ever make light of associating porn with CP. Tim and his crew fight tirelessly (http://www.xbiz.com/news/136376) to stop that sort of thing without someone like you making a gag about it.

[wehateporn]

?The light bulb conspiracy? is a documentary about the negative effects of consumerism and planned obsolescence. The light bulb conspiracy is a theory that the leading manufacturers of incandescent light bulbs have conspired to keep the lifetime of their bulbs far below their real technological capabilities. This way, they ensure the continuous demand for more bulbs and hence, long-term profit for themselves.

Didn't mention it or gag about it actually, was talking about them seeing it. No gag

The Phoebus Cartel
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoebus_cartel

The Phoebus cartel was a cartel of, among others, Osram, Philips and General Electric from December 23, 1924 until 1939 that existed to control the manufacture and sale of light bulbs.

The cartel is an important step in the history of global economy because of their involvement in the creation of great-scale planned obsolescence.

Purpose

The cartel served as a convenient way to lower costs and took on considerable efforts to cap the life expectancy of light bulbs at 1000 hours,[3] while at the same time hiking prices without fear of competition. Standardization of light bulbs was another side-effect of the cartel.

well, we know lightbulbs could last much longer if they wanted to ;)

It's a master conspiracy for sure... Like when i go to the dollar store and get 4 bulbs for a dollar? That goes right to the cartel fat cats and they all get drunk and do their rich dance ceremony and talk about taking over the world, starving it's people and putting fluoride in the drinking water to keep us dumb... one bulb at a time!

Thanks for the link!

My grandparents had a few lightbulbs in their house that went back a long long way

i'm learning that the word *conspiracy* is just the 21st century's version of *trust/monoply*

we need a consiracy buster like roosevelt

A special trust or business trust is a business entity formed with intent to monopolize business, to restrain trade, or to fix prices.[1]

it is used because you can't talk about "class" in america ... to do so is marxist or communist.

argh.... light bulbs!

Fuck Light Bulbs... To expensive!

Love those new curly-cue bulbs. Lots of light for very little wattage.

Markham as with many here, are content people. The unfortunate truth about today's adult site is that is content is not the king as it was. It takes much more to convert your audience and to keep it.

Unfortunately, when one only sees what they see through the lens of a camera, they tend to miss the truck about to run them over.

I have no opinion of Markham one way or the other, I've never met him and I don't judge people by their board entries however, to be successful today, you need a lot more than just content as I had stated in my article for AVN last summer. ( http://business.avn.com/articles/tec...ry-406234.html ).

I do know Peabody and he is a personal friend so given that, I thought I'd throw in my two cents.

[The Porn Nerd]

Okay, so the future of Paul Markham is light bulbs. Got it, thanks.

Hey man! How's Arizona? Hope the fires didn't get you (obviously they didn't). GREAT article for AVN, everyone should read it (especially Paul Markham).
